another f*** up!!

[tone loc]

i was told to take the valves out of the head to get the head machined. is this true? that should have been my question before i started taking the vavles out. i went a bought a valve spring compressor. this was the shietiest thing i ever saw. first the thing i got with it to push the spring down didnt even fit on there right so i had to mod it a little. even then it didnt work right and i went to push the spring down and i scracthed were the lifter goes and i think i fucked it up cause the lifter wont fit into its spot anymore. wtf do i do?? can i sand it down a bit or not? please help. thanks
